AI Summary

Overview

ShadowBroker is a powerful, open-source intelligence platform designed to aggregate and visualize global telemetry from over 60 real-time intelligence feeds. It provides a unified, dark-ops map interface for tracking a vast array of assets, from corporate and private jets to spy satellites and seismic events. Built with Next.js, MapLibre GL, and FastAPI, ShadowBroker runs entirely in your browser against a self-hosted backend, ensuring no user data is collected or transmitted. With its modular design and AI agent integration, ShadowBroker transforms scattered public signals into actionable, interconnected intelligence.

Key Features

  • Unified Global View: Integrates real-time data from aircraft (ADS-B), ships (AIS), satellites, conflict zones, CCTV networks, GPS jamming, mesh radio nodes, police scanners, and breaking geopolitical events onto a single, dynamic map.
  • AI Agent Integration: Connect an AI agent to parse data, uncover unseen correlations, and control the map interface for advanced analysis. Supports protocols like OpenClaw, Claude, GPT, and LangChain.
  • Decentralized Communications (InfoNet): Features an experimental testnet for obfuscated messaging, peer-to-peer Dead Drop exchanges, and a built-in terminal CLI, all without requiring accounts or signup.
  • Rich Geospatial Dossiers: Right-click on any point on Earth to access a detailed country profile, head-of-state information, and the latest Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
  • Extensive Data Layers: Over 35 toggleable data layers, including SAR ground-change detection for mm-scale deformation and flood extent analysis.
  • Multiple Visual Modes: Switch between DEFAULT, SATELLITE, FLIR (thermal), NVG (night vision), and CRT (retro terminal) for diverse analytical perspectives.
  • Real-Time Tracking: Monitor everything from Air Force One and billionaire superyachts to active wildfires, earthquakes, and internet-connected devices via Shodan integration.
  • Local & Private Operation: Designed to run locally with a self-hosted backend, ensuring no telemetry or user data is ever sent to external servers.

Typical Use Cases

  • Advanced Threat Analysis: Track military and private aircraft, naval vessels (including estimated aircraft carrier positions), and monitor conflict zones with real-time frontlines and air alerts.
  • AI-Assisted Intelligence: Leverage AI agents to automatically identify patterns, anomalies, and correlations across vast, disparate datasets that would be impossible for human analysts to process manually.
  • Situational Awareness: Gain a comprehensive understanding of global events by visualizing breaking news, seismic activity, environmental hazards, and infrastructure status on a single map.
  • Investigative OSINT: Utilize Shodan integration to plot internet-connected devices, analyze satellite imagery for ground changes, and tune into live shortwave radio broadcasts directly from the dashboard.
  • Decentralized Communication & Governance: Engage in experimental, obfuscated communication and explore the nascent Sovereign Shell governance economy for decentralized decision-making.
  • Research & Academia: Aggregate and visualize complex geospatial data for academic research, policy analysis, or understanding global trends.

About

Open-source intelligence for the global theater. Track everything from the corporate/private jets of the wealthy, and spy satellites, to seismic events in one unified interface. Hook an AI agent up to have it parse through data and find previously unseen correlations. The knowledge is available to all but rarely aggregated in the open, until now.
